Spinal Tap (duh)
200 Motels (Frank Zappa+Acid+The Mothers+a video camera+ Ringo Starr= 200 Motels)
Tom Dowd and the Language of Music (a documentary of the recording history of Tommy Dowd, it's really amazing)

Just a fantastic documentary about punk music

Step Across the Border

Kind of a documentary about Fred Frith... but kind of not. Call it a avant-guarde film about avant-guarde music I guess :idk:
At any rate it is a very interesting film
